Abstract
Full text and metadata of the first 14 newspaper titles digitised by Heritage Made Digital (HMD) after processing by the Alto2Text pipeline created by the Living with Machines Project. The pipeline took as its input the highly verbose AltoXML files of the same newspaper titles and converted them into the more readable plain text format for the benefit of readers and researchers.
This includes the following titles:
- Colored News
- National Register
- The British Press; or, Morning Literary Advertiser
- The Express
- Liverpool Standard and General Commercial Advertiser; Liverpool Standard and General Advertiser; Liverpool Standard and General Commercial Advertiser
- The Northern Daily Times (Liverpool); Northern Times; The Daily Times
- The Press
- The Star
- The Statesman
- The Sun
Individual datasets for each of these title are also available within the BL Research Repository (so you do not need to download the full HMD14 dataset): https://bl.iro.bl.uk/catalog?f%5Bkeyword_sim%5D%5B%5D=HMD14
